Built for submerged water monitoring, this industrial-grade probe measures ammonia nitrogen concentration in water, including free ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ions (NH4+). It combines the probe and housing into an integrated design for a simpler, more robust installation.
The sensor communicates over RS485 and supports the standard ModBus-RTU protocol. DFRobot provides tutorials for connecting it to an Arduino development board and DFRobot LoRaWAN, making it suitable for setting up a test environment and monitoring data in the field.
Automatic pH and temperature compensation help maintain reliable readings as conditions change. The unit is calibrated before leaving the factory, is ready to use on arrival, and supports two-point electrode calibration via register settings for optimisation after prolonged use.
Included in the package are the RS485 Water Quality Ammonia Nitrogen&pH Sensor x1, 5m sensor cable x1, black protective mesh x1, and cable ties x2.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Modbus
- Modbus is an industrial communication protocol used by many meters, sensors, PLCs, and automation devices. Modbus support matters because it can make the controller easier to integrate with existing industrial equipment.
- ModBus-RTU
- ModBus-RTU is a common industrial protocol for sending sensor readings and control commands over serial links such as RS485. Knowing the sensor uses ModBus-RTU helps you choose software libraries, data loggers, or controllers that can request and interpret its readings.
- pH
- A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
- RS485
- RS485 is a robust wired serial communication standard often used in factories, farms, and buildings where cables may be long or electrically noisy. It matters because it lets this controller connect to industrial sensors, meters, and control equipment over longer distances than typical hobby serial wiring.
- Temperature compensation
- Temperature compensation means the sensor adjusts its readings to reduce errors caused by changes in water temperature. This matters for field monitoring because ponds, rivers, and tanks can vary in temperature throughout the day and across seasons.
